It is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the masses rose up and derived, and many wonderful deeds were derived, so Luo Guanzhong, with these historical deeds and his own imagination, wrote a work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is relatively boring to the real history, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, some half-fiction and half-truth bridge sections are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
One of the bridges is that Zhuge Liang and Wang Lang faced each other in front of each other on the eve of the war, and the process was very exciting, but we saw that the literati did not carry dirty words, but in fact, in the history of the canon, there is no such thing. However, although Wang Lang did not exchange fears with Zhuge Liang, he once had mutual hatred with Sun Ce of Eastern Wu.
Compared with Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, Wang Lang's reputation is naturally much worse, but it is not without merit, he is still very famous in history, and he is one of the three dukes of Cao Wei. However, in the early years, Wang Lang was still a Han chen, and although he was talented at the beginning, his official position was not high, but he was only engaged in Xuzhou Zhizhong, and later he was appreciated by Emperor Xian, so he became a Taishou.
After Wang Lang became a huijian taishou, he managed the jurisdiction area in an orderly manner, so the local people loved him, but after only a few years of stability, they fell into war. At that time, the Eastern Wu Sun clan was quite rising, and launched attacks all over Jiangdong, and Huiji was naturally no exception.
Therefore, Sun Ce quickly hit the Huiji City, and Huiji Gongcao suggested that Wang Lang should not confront Sun Ce head-on, and that he could let out Huiji, or he could submit to Sun Ce, or he could deceive Sun Ce's trust by asking for perfection, and then slowly try to do it in the future. However, they all disagreed, and Wang Lang believed that in his position, he should protect the prefectures and counties under his rule, and directly surrendered the city to him, ashamed of the importance of the Son of Heaven.
And Wang Lang also has the backbone of a literati, does not want to bend and seek perfection, this is no way, can only confront Sun Ce head-on, fortunately there is still a strong city to defend, relying on the city pool condescending, taking advantage of the enemy in the battle, so that Sun Ce attacked many times, but did not achieve results. This matter should be little known, Wang Lang is militarily, and this period of time is relatively brilliant, what people do not think is that the literati can also be so domineering.
When Sun Ce's uncle saw this, he felt that he could not continue like this, so he offered a plan to Sun Ce to let Sun Ce attack the west and the west at night, relying on the cover of night, the soldiers attacked in two ways, and lit torches everywhere to confuse the line of sight. The plan was successful, and Wang Lang was unable to hold on to it, so he could only flee to Dongye by boat.
Sun Ce pursued all the way and captured Wang Lang and Gong Cao Yu Tuan alive, but Sun Ce knew that Wang Lang was a talent, and for a while he was not willing to kill, so he wanted to surrender, but Wang Lang was unwilling to live or die, but Gong Cao took the initiative to surrender. There was no way, Sun Ce could only exile Wang Lang, perhaps this literati's fine skin and tender flesh, in a few days to be soft.
But what Sun Ce did not expect was that Wang Lang was not an ordinary tough spirit, and he still could not let him relax under the burden of suffering, after which Sun Ce sent Zhang Zhao to persuade him, and Wang Lang just did not speak, after which Sun Ce finally died and no longer wanted to recruit Wang Lang, and ignored him.
Until Cao Cao heard about this, he thought that Wang Lang had both virtue and ability, and should not be so violent and cruel, so he was recalled to the imperial court, and then Cao Cao was named a counselor. Perhaps Wang Lang had been working under Cao Cao for a long time, plus Cao Cao saved his life, and finally joined Cao's camp.
In fact, Wang Lang did not owe anyone, in the early stage, he was still quite loyal to the Han royal family, and he did not surrender and did not collude, but dared to resist the separatist forces and repel Sun Ce, which was also a due duty, but the Han royal family was incompetent, and the imperial court was too corrupt. Perhaps because of this, he served Cao Ying for the rest of his life, and he could also repay Cao Cao's kindness by the way.
